00:04The security bubble that we've enjoyed for so long is no longer there.
00:08Security is now a much more important thing for all levels of government and industry to start to consider
00:15because you can't put a value on safety.
00:21That's the focus here at Millipol Qatar in Doha,
00:24where I'm taking a look at the technology designed to help and seeing how it works.
00:30Whether it's a cyber attack, a break-in or a major fire,
00:34keeping people safe means preparing for different threats.
00:38This year's edition we have around 280 different companies, 70% of them coming from all over the globe.
00:47Only 30% are local.
00:48What we are offering through the exhibition is solutions for whatever challenges that
00:53different governments and different countries are facing.
00:56And those solutions obviously have been tested in different countries.
01:03Among the exhibits is a drone fitted with traffic lights intended for use when signals at a junction fail.
01:11We are calling it flying traffic signal.
01:14What we did, we have compacted the traffic signal controller in a small box and we have included
01:20the traffic signal head around it and hang it to a drone.
01:24So this drone is responsible for mandating the traffic during the major failure of the traffic signal.
01:31Rather than sending traffic police to the middle of the intersection and doing that temporary traffic
01:37mandating, we are doing it over this drone, having everybody life safe until the traffic signal restore to its functionality.
01:51This van has been fitted out as a mobile command center.
01:55It can be configured for drone operations or crowd monitoring.
02:03What we do is that we bring actually all the technologies into a certain van.
02:08You can use it for different purposes and 100% customizable as per the need of each entity.
02:15So either for a drone launching, for using for the crowd management or like what you want exactly.
02:27Now I want to find out how this equipment is used in real emergency.
02:31I'm with Alexandros Nakatamites from West Bay Petroleum. Alex, can you take me through your time you've used this and
02:36how it helps?
02:37Absolutely. So what we have in front of us here is a fixed wing VTOL drone, vertical takeoff and landing.
02:44And one of the biggest applications for emergencies that this is used for is in search and rescue.
02:49So we use it to find people in very, very big areas and then try to rescue them from those
02:56locations.
02:57Drones right now, I mean, you can put, for example, on something like this, you can put a fire hose
03:02and use it for fire situations.
03:04You've got industrial security or you have, for example, a gas leak.
03:08You can launch a drone that has a gas system on it and can enter without having to put a
03:13human life at risk.
03:14Once the drone comes back, we are able to run those individual photos through algorithms
03:19and then essentially try to find what looks like a person.
03:25On the water, one project involves adapting a boat to operate without anyone on board with missions set from a
03:33control center.
03:34We are able to lay out missions to the boat and it is able to execute those missions autonomously to
03:41detect objects,
03:42go survey areas where it needs to survey, execute its mission and also return back while maintaining the communication back
03:50and forth with the command centers.
03:52When you adopt artificial intelligence, there are numerous security layers that you have to pass it through and vet the
03:59performance of such system.
04:01You have to be careful and diligent when you employ that.
04:07This remotely operated robot is fitted with cameras and sensors for detecting gas and radiation.
04:13We have AI on the robot, but also human intelligence is important.
04:19So the human can control everything on the robot, the arm, the movement, the point of gravity.
04:26Everything can be controlled through this control.
04:29So our main goal is just to, if anyone has to be harmed, it has to be a machine and
04:36not a human person that should be always safe.
04:42Here at MiniPoll, we've seen technology designed to protect our data, our buildings and our lives.
04:48The goal is simple, spot danger early, respond quickly and keep more people out of harm's way.
